Executive Summary
Between 15 December 2014 and 9 February 2015, Transport for London (TfL) consulted
on proposals for the junction of Stamford Street and Cornwall Road. We received 64
responses to the consultation, of which 59% supported or partially supported our
proposals. However, some expressed concern that the plans don’t go far enough.
Having considered the responses, TfL intends to proceed with the scheme as shown in
the consultation documentation.
The works will commence and are planned to start in late April 2015. We will write to
local residents and businesses before work starts to provide an overview of the updated
plans and an outline of the construction programme.
This document explains the processes, responses and outcomes of this consultation, as
well as TfL’s responses to issues commonly raised.

1 Background
1.1 About Quietways
The Quietways form a key part of the Mayor’s Vision for Cycling; a 10 year plan to
deliver cycling improvements across the Capital. By 2022, £913m will be invested in
cycling and we envisage over £123m to be allocated to this programme.
The Quietways will deliver a pan-London network of high quality, well-signed cycle
routes predominately using back streets with little traffic. They are designed to overcome
barriers to cycling, targeting less confident cyclists and those who prefer a more relaxed
journey. Quietways will complement other cycling initiatives, such as the Central London
Cycling Grid and Cycle Superhighways.
Transport for London is are working in partnership with the London boroughs and
managing authorities to deliver seven Quietways routes by late spring 2016. The seven
pilot routes, boroughs and partners, are
 Q1 Waterloo to Greenwich (LB Lambeth, LB Southwark, LB Lewisham, LB
Greenwich)
 Q2 Bloomsbury to Walthamstow (phase 1 - Bloomsbury to Mare Street) (LB
Camden, LB Islington, LB Hackney, LB Waltham Forest, Lea Valley Regional
Park)
 Regents Park to Gladstone Park (Dollis Hill) (City of Westminster, LB Camden,
LB Brent)
 Elephant & Castle to Crystal Palace (LB Lambeth, LB Southwark)
 Aldgate to Hainault (phase 1 – Mile End to Barkingside) (LB Tower Hamlets,
LB Hackney, LB Newham, LB Redbridge, and the London Legacy Development
Corporation)
 Waterloo to Croydon (via Clapham Common) (LB Lambeth, LB Wandsworth,
LB Croydon)
 Clapham Common to Wimbledon (LB Lambeth, LB Wandsworth, LB Merton)
Design on the first two pilot routes is well underway. It is expected that they will be
delivered by summer 2015. The remaining five routes are expected to be delivered by
late spring 2016.
1.2 About this report – Stamford Street to Cornwall Road
There are junctions on the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN) along the pilot
routes and for these it is the responsibility of TfL to consult on changes at these
locations. Modifications at these junctions range from providing Advanced Stop Lines
(ASLs) and carriageway markings to more complex reworkings of junction layouts.
The Stamford Street and Cornwall Road junction is on the proposed Waterloo to
Greenwich Quietway. The London boroughs will consult locally on their respective
sections of the route.

2 Introduction
2.1 Purpose of the Scheme
As part of the Quietways programme, TfL is developing proposals to enhance
facilities for cyclists and pedestrians without adversely affecting other road users.
During December to early February 2014 we invited the public and key stakeholders
to comment on its proposals for the TLRN junction of Stamford Street and Cornwall
Road.
2.2 Description of the proposals
a) A new Advanced Stop Line (ASL) on the southern arm of Cornwall Road. This
would provide a new area in which cyclists can wait at a red traffic signal in
front of other traffic, giving them a ‘head start’ when the signals change to
green
b) ASL space increased to five metres on both Stamford Street arms and the
northern arm of Cornwall Road. This would provide more space for cyclists to
wait at a red traffic signal ahead of other traffic
c) Footway widened on the western side of the northern arm of Cornwall Road,
using unused carriageway space by increasing the space for pedestrians
around the junction
d) Realignment of the eastern kerb line on the northern arm of Cornwall Road to
assist cyclists positioning when approaching the junction
e) Advisory cycle feeder lanes increased to 1.8 metres wide. This would improve
cyclists’ access to the ASLs
f) A section of parking bay on the southern arm of Cornwall Road has been
moved a short distance. This would remove a possible conflict point between
cyclists waiting in the ASL and southbound vehicles

3 The consultation
The consultation ran from 15 December 2014 to 9 February 2015. It was designed to
enable TfL to understand local opinion about the proposed junction changes.
The potential outcomes of the consultation are:



We decide the consultation raises no issues that should prevent us from
proceeding with the scheme as originally planned
We modify the scheme in response to issues raised in consultation
We abandon the scheme as a result of issues raised in the consultation
The objectives of the consultation were:





To give stakeholders and the public easily-understandable information about the
proposals and allow them to respond
To understand the level of support or opposition for the change
To understand any issues that might affect the proposal of which we were not
previously aware
To understand concerns and objections
To allow respondents to make suggestions
3.1 Who we consulted
The public consultation intended to seek the views of people living close to the
junction. We also consulted stakeholders including the affected councils, traffic
police, London TravelWatch, Members of Parliament, Assembly Members, London
Cycling Campaign and local interest groups.
A list of the stakeholders consulted is shown in Appendix D. A summary of the
stakeholder groups that responded is in Section 5.

5 Analysis of consultation comments
5.1
Comments from the Stamford Street/Cornwall Road TLRN junction
Of the 64 respondents who replied to the consultation, 54 (84% of the total) provided
comments. The issues most commonly raised are outlined below.
a) Negative comments about ASLs and feeder lanes: 16 respondents (25%)
were concerned about the level of protection ASLs and feeder lanes offered and
about motorist compliance. Comments included:
i. 8 respondents: ASLs are not enough; they offer little or no protection
Cyclist Touring Club (CTC) London: The lead-in lanes to the ASLs are very short;
these should be as long as the traffic queue or a reason for their termination.
Southwark Living Streets: A semi-segregated lead into the ASL from both the
east and west directions should be created.
ii. 5 respondents: Feeder lanes require more space, 1.8m length or width isn’t
wide enough
iii. 4 respondents: Motorist behaviour change required towards ASLs
 ASLs are not enforceable and are often occupied by motor vehicles, they
need to be enforced.
 Most drivers think they can drive into an ASL whenever there isn’t a cyclist
in it
b) Concern at perceived lack of ambition: 14 respondents (22%) were concerned
that the changes were cosmetic and minor, unambitious, and requested
segregation. Comments included:
i.
ii.
6 respondents: These are unambitious designs and no safer for cyclists
5 respondents: These proposals are cosmetic and minor changes
LB Lambeth: Said it is uncertain that the proposals alone will drastically improve
the junction for cyclists.
iii.
4 respondents: Junction flow concerns and segregation requests
Capital Rides: Local cycling instructor said Cornwall Road is not a good cycling
environment, and that the plan would not substantially change this.
c) Suggestions for junction alterations: 12 respondents (19%) made suggestions
for changes or additions to the proposed scheme. Comments included:




5 respondents: To avoid congestion change the parking rules by adding
double yellow lines at southern and northern ends of Cornwall Road junction
4 respondents: Close Cornwall Road to motor traffic or make one way
3 respondents: Car parking should be removed
2 respondents: Requested car parking to be added
Quietways Q1 | Stamford Street and Cornwall Road TLRN Junction
11
Sustrans: Said they are supportive of the removal of parking, however double red
lines (or double yellow lines) should be extended on either side of the road to
prevent any parking close to the junction.
d) Junction plans offer little or no safety improvements: 11 respondents (17%)
were concerned that the junction plans offered little or no safety improvements.
Southwark Living Streets: Said that Stamford Street remains an extremely
intimidating environment to cycle along.
Alliance of British Drivers: Said that they were particularly opposed to the buildout of the kerb on Cornwall Road, claiming that such designs are dangerous as
they tend not to be seen by the drivers until too late and obstruct the free flow of
traffic.
Cyclist Touring Club (CTC) London: Said that the general traffic lane opposite the
ASL in Stamford Street should be at least 4 metres wide to avoid cyclists being
squeezed.
e) Rat-running: 10 respondents (16%) were concerned about motor vehicles ‘ratrunning’ along Cornwall Road.
Capital Rides: Said stop traffic rat-running along Belvedere Road/Upper Ground
spine through bollard closures that allow pedestrians and cyclists through.
f) Cost concerns: 8 respondents (12%) were concerned that the scheme is a
waste of money and/or that cyclists should contribute to the cost of the highway.
g) General positive comments: 7 respondents (11%) welcomed the junction
improvements. Comments included:




I regularly cycle from New Cross to central London via Waterloo using
these back roads – any improvements would be most welcomed.
I welcome the investment to put the safety of cyclists first.
Looks like a good step in the right direction. Hope we can have many
more of these in the years ahead.
Good idea to remove the parking on Cornwall Road, as there is always a
jam with cars trying to enter and exit Cornwall Road.
Sustrans: Are supportive of widening all existing ASLs and cycle feeder lanes to
give cyclists a head start over traffic.
London TravelWatch: Said the best road designs are understandable and selfexplaining. This proposal complies with this principle and so is welcomed.
John Lewis Partnership: Said we fully support schemes that help make cycling in
London safer.

John Lewis Partnership: Request that kerbside loading is accommodated,
practically and safely.
LB Lambeth: Said that signals at the junction appears to let few vehicles through,
leading to a build up of traffic waiting to turn into Stamford Street, competing with
vehicles parked in the bays on the south wide of Cornwall Road.

Summary of response
Particularly opposed to the build-out of the kerb on
Cornwall Road. Said such designs are dangerous as
they tend not to be seen by drivers until too late and
obstruct the free flow of traffic.
Argued the adjustments will give few benefits for
cyclists and seem to be an exercise in 'being seen to
do something' rather than tackling issues elsewhere.
As a cycling instructor who teaches adults and pupils
in this area the respondent does not consider
Cornwall Road, especially north of Stamford Street to
be a good cycling environment. And does not believe
that the plan substantially changes this.
The respondent has provided an image of how the
South Bank be made child cycle-friendly while also
allowing deliveries of goods and building materials,
taxis to drop off theatre-goers, and people with blue
badges or an aversion to public transport to drive to
the area

No issues with these two junctions.
John Lewis Partnership
LB Lambeth
Said the lead-in lanes to the ASLs are very short;
these should be as long as the traffic queue or a
reason for their termination. Requested for the
general traffic lane opposite the ASL in Stamford
Street to be at least 4.0m wide to avoid cyclists being
squeezed, and for additional cycle parking to be
incorporated.
Said it fully supports schemes that help to make
cycling in London safer. Requested that care be
taken to ensure that kerbside loading is
accommodated as practically and as safely as
possible, and without compromise to other road
users.
Said it is difficult to assess the proposals without them
being placed in the context of the wider Quietway
proposals, but is uncertain that the proposals alone
will drastically improve the junction for cyclists. Added
that the junction (and Stamford Street as a whole) will
only be improved for cyclists and pedestrians if the
large volume of heavy vehicles (lorries, coaches and
buses) is reduced.
Expressed concerns relating to the level of traffic
using Cornwall Road between Stamford Street and
Belvedere Road and the timing of the traffic lights,
which it said appeared to let very few vehicles
through at a time. It added that this sometimes leads
to a build up of traffic waiting to turn into Stamford
Street which competes with other vehicles parked in
the bays on the South side of Cornwall Road.
London Fire and
Emergency Planning
Authority
London TravelWatch
Southwark Living Streets
Said that TfL should analyse the responses from this
consultation, but then pause the implementation to
wait for the wider Quietway plans to be finalised and
to ensure that they compliment each other.
Said the proposals have very little impact on the
London Fire Brigade. However, the respondent
welcomes any proposal to improve road safety and
during the construction phase and we would like to
ensure continued liaison with managers at local fire
stations to enable pre planning to minimise any
possible disruption to appliances attending incidents.
Said the best road designs are understandable and
self-explaining. This proposal complies with this
principle and so is welcomed.
Said the proposals appear adequate in relation to
Cornwall Road, but requested further improvements
to Stamford St such as a 20mph speed limit and the
creation of a semi-segregated lead into the ASL for
cyclists from both the east and the west directions.
Quietways Q1 | Stamford Street and Cornwall Road TLRN Junction
15
Added that Stamford Street remains an extremely
intimidating environment to cycle along.
Sustrans
Generally supportive of the minor proposals to this
junction. Although this is a quiet junction, an ASL
would make cyclists feel safer. Supportive of
widening all existing ASLs and cycle feeder lanes.
This should give cyclists a larger ‘head start’ over
traffic which is beneficial for slower cyclists and
disability cyclists who can find the slope makes it
harder to accelerate. Supportive of the footway
widening as this should encourage vehicles to not
overtake. This would presumably remove the existing
bike marking next to the kerb, which currently
misleads cyclists who shouldn’t be positioning
themselves so close to the kerb. Supportive of the
removal of parking, however the double red lines (or
double yellow lines) should be extended on either
side of the road to prevent any parking close to the
junction.

6 Conclusion and next steps
Overall, 59% of consultation respondents said they supported or partially supported
TfL’s proposals for the Stamford Street and Cornwall Road junction.
Having considered the responses, TfL intends to proceed with the scheme as shown
in the consultation documentation.
The works are planned to start in late April 2015. We will write to local residents and
businesses before work starts to provide an overview of the updated plans and an
outline of the construction programme.
Please see Appendix A for TfL’s Response to issues commonly raised in
consultation.
Quietways Q1 | Stamford Street and Cornwall Road TLRN Junction

Appendix A – Response to issues commonly raised
Negative comments about Advanced Stop Lines (ASLs) and feeder lanes
The proposals to increase the length of ASLs and width of feeder lanes increase the
space available for cyclists. The reduced width ASLs on both Cornwall Road arms
of the junction safeguard cyclists from the swept paths of larger vehicles turning in
from Stamford Street, which in turn allows the ASLs to be kept as close to the
junction as possible. This will slightly reduce the distance into the junction for
cyclists.
The intrusion of motor vehicles into ASL’s is being addressed by the Met Police
through Operation Safeway, where officers are regularly deployed at key junctions
across the capital to enforce road safety and give advice to all road users
The feeder lanes to the ASLs at 1.8m will be wider than currently exists.
Feeder lanes are not proposed on the Cornwall Road arms, as due to the narrow
width of the road. Cyclists are encouraged to take a primary riding position by cycling
further away from the kerb to mitigate the risk of collision with vehicles, for example,
during a left ‘hook’ manoeuvre.
The feeder lanes are advisory and segregated or semi-segregated feeder lanes
would not be compatible with the London Borough of Lambeth’s proposals for the
Quietway along Cornwall Road, which the borough will consult on separately.
Concern at perceived lack of ambition; suggestions for junction alterations
As outlined above, the scheme has been designed to provide a safer and more
comfortable route for cyclists through the junction. TfL consider that the design is a
proportionate and cost-effective solution for this particular junction.
Requests for changes to parking arrangements and a junction closure on Cornwall
Road will be shared with LB Lambeth, which is the Highway Authority for Cornwall
Road.
Junction plans offer little or no safety
The proposals have been designed to provide a safer and more comfortable route
for cyclists through the junction. New and larger Advanced Stop Lines and feeder
lanes will provide more space for cyclists and make it easier for them to wait ahead
of other vehicles at the junction.
The revision to the footway kerb alignment in Cornwall Road (north arm) has been
designed to ensure a smoother approach for cyclists into the junction. It also moves
out the point at which vehicles from the crossover will be emerging onto the
carriageway, and creates more pedestrian space.
Rat-running
Comments relating to Cornwall Road will be shared with the London Borough of
Lambeth, which is the Highway Authority for this road.

Dear Resident,
Have your say – proposed changes to the Stamford Street junction with Cornwall Road
As part of the Quietways programme, Transport for London (TfL) is developing proposals to
enhance facilities for cyclists and pedestrians without adversely affecting other road users.
We would like to know your views on the proposed changes to the junction at Stamford
Street and Cornwall Road.
The Quietways programme will deliver a pan-London network of high quality, well signed
cycle routes predominately using back streets with little traffic. They are designed to
overcome barriers to cycling, targeting less confident cyclists and those who prefer a more
relaxed journey. Quietways will complement other cycling initiatives, such as the Central
London Cycling Grid and Cycle Superhighways.
The Stamford Street and Cornwall Road junction is on the proposed Waterloo to
Greenwich Quietway. The London boroughs will consult locally on their respective section
of the route.
We are committed to make it easier and safer to cycle in London, and the proposals for this
junction include:
1. A new Advanced Stop Line (ASL) on the southern arm of Cornwall Road. This will
provide a new area in which cyclists can wait at a red traffic signal in front of other
traffic, giving them a ‘head start’ when the signals change to green
2. ASL space increased to five metres on both Stamford Street arms and the northern
arm of Cornwall Road. This will provide more space for cyclists to wait at a red traffic
signal ahead of other traffic
3. Footway widened on the western side of the northern arm of Cornwall Road, using
unused carriageway space by increasing the space for pedestrians around the junction
4. Realignment of the eastern kerb line on the northern arm of Cornwall Road to assist
cyclists positioning when approaching the junction
5. Advisory cycle feeder lanes increased to 1.8 metres wide. This will improve cyclists’
access to the ASLs
Quietways Q1 | Stamford Street and Cornwall Road TLRN Junction

6. A section of parking bay on the southern arm of Cornwall Road has been moved a
short distance. This will remove a possible conflict point between cyclists waiting in the
ASL and southbound vehicles
The enclosed consultation junction plan shows the current proposals. A detailed design
process will follow this consultation, and as a result the works may change.
The proposed modified junction reflects the emerging improvements in cycling
infrastructure design standards including to:







Improve safety for cyclists
Increase the number of cyclists and cycle journeys
Reduce journey times for cyclists
Use some innovative design features recognised as best practice
Reduce traffic speeds
Improve the environment for local residents and businesses
Not to disbenefit other road users

Appendix E – Email sent to stakeholders
Dear Stakeholder,
I am writing to let you know that Transport for London (TfL) has launched three consultations
proposing changes to junctions on the Transport for London Road Network (TLRN). These junctions
are on the first two pilot routes of the Quietways (tfl.gov.uk/cycle-quietways) and we would like to
know what you think about the proposals.
The Quietways will deliver a pan-London network of high quality, well signed cycle routes
predominately using back streets with little traffic. They are designed to overcome barriers to
cycling, targeting less confident cyclists and those who prefer a more relaxed journey. Quietways
will complement other cycling initiatives, such as the Central London Cycling Grid and Cycle
Superhighways.
The three junctions under consultation are:



Stamford Street and Cornwall Road – on the Waterloo to Greenwich Quietway
Great Dover Street and Globe Street – on the Waterloo to Greenwich Quietway
City Road / Colebrooke Row and Goswell Road / Owen Street – on the Bloomsbury to
Walthamstow Quietway
The proposed modified junctions reflect the emerging improvements in cycling infrastructure
design standards including to:







Improve safety for cyclists
Increase the number of cyclists and cycle journeys
Reduce journey times for cyclists
Use some innovative design features recognised as best practice
Reduce traffic speeds
Improve the environment for local residents and businesses
Not to disbenefit other road users
We are consulting on the introduction of the following measures and safety features, which are
similar to those likely to be proposed for further Quietways junctions on the TLRN:




Increased pedestrian crossing widths
New Advanced Stop Lines (ASL)
Increased ASL space at some junctions
New Pedestrian Countdown Indicators informing pedestrians how long they have to
cross the road. These are being installed as part of TfL’s programme to improve
pedestrian convenience
The three consultations that have been launched today are the first along the initial two pilot routes.
As the next five pilot routes are announced, we will consult on more Quietways junctions on the
TLRN. The London boroughs will consult locally on their respective section of the route.
How can I find out more?
To view our proposals and have your say, please see our consultations website
tfl.gov.uk/consultations or use the links below to go directly to the consultation which interests you
the most. The consultations close on Monday 9 February 2015.

We have also announced that Sustrans has been awarded the contract to support the rollout of the
Quietways network across London. To learn more about the first seven pilot routes and the contract
award please visit tfl.gov.uk/cycle-quietways.
The Quietways form a key part of the Mayor’s Vision for Cycling; a 10 year plan to deliver cycling
improvements across the Capital. By 2022, £913m will be invested in cycling and we envisage
over £123m to be allocated to the Quietways programme.
We hope this is useful and look forward to your response to the consultations. We will keep you
informed throughout the programme.
Yours sincerely,
Peter Bradley
